Water Course Alongside Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 555.1B | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Water Course Alongside Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 555.1B is an official UK traffic sign used to warn drivers of the presence of a watercourse—such as a ditch, stream, or canal—running parallel to the road. Designed to alert motorists to potential hazards from unguarded water edges, this sign plays a critical safety role in rural, agricultural, and riverside driving environments.
Compliant with TSRGD Diagram 555.1B, BS EN 12899-1, and Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual, this permanent sign is manufactured using robust aluminium, composite, or self-adhesive sticker substrates. It features RA2 or R3B high-reflectivity sheeting for enhanced visibility in low-light, rainy, or nighttime conditions.
It is available in all six UK-standard triangle sizes — 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm — and can be supplied with channel rail fixings, plate-only, or self-adhesive backing to suit both permanent and temporary installations.
